this is why I never use ÷ (or more realistically “/”) without explicit brackets denoting order of operations.

it’s not thousands of years of context. All this stuff dates back to, like, roughly the 1900s. Basically the British Mandatory period.

(a) that’s an awesome looking setup

(b) what’s that tetris game called? I want that

The “as geography permits” part is a big obstacle, unfortunately.

They make them money because:

• they use reddit
• spez gets some nice usage stats to show off
• as a direct consequence, advertisers keep paying to put their ads
• also as a direct consequence, investors’ confidence in reddit continues to recover; there’s a real possibility that, when it IPOs, it will actually go for a decent price

Now, if enough people go commit ad-block, and advertisers somehow become wise to that fact… then maybe it will hurt reddit’s bottom line (at which point spez will start trying to emulate youtube’s anti-ad stuff).

But as it stands, especially if most of reddit’s usage is through reddit’s mobile app… I’m not really sure how you can block ads there.
